On this, the government levies Rs 36.03 in taxes, pushing the fuel's retail price to Rs 77.83 per litre in the national capital, as on May 25.

Diesel prices, which have already hit all-time highs, also rose around Rs 3 a litre during the period.

In Mumbai and Chennai, petrol was sold at Rs. 85.78 and Rs. 80.95 a litre respectively, up from Rs. 85.65 and Rs. 80.80 on Friday.

In addition, price in Kolkata inched up to Rs 80.76, against 80.61 per litre on the previous day.

This is obviously an act of breach of trust against the citizens of India in violation of assumed memorandum of understanding that the rates of oil should go up and down with every fluctuation of the crude oil prices. "Central government saves Rs 15 on every litre of petrol due to fall in crude oil prices.
